CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - December 4, 2008) - IMAGE Worldwide, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: IMGW) and its subsidiary, IMAGE Chicago Magazine, will be celebrating the New Year in style with over 4,000 party-goers in three ballrooms while contributing to a worthy cause as Chicago's premier entertainment groups Global Adrenaline, Tommy Z Productions, Surreal Chicago and IMAGE Magazine team up with United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Chicago to host a New Year's Eve party at the historic Hilton Chicago (720 S. Michigan Avenue).

The Hilton Chicago is the perfect location for the event. The four-star hotel overlooks Grant Park and helps anchor Chicago's Magnificent Mile. The hotel has played host to every living President, including President-Elect Barack Obama.

For the first time ever at a New Year's Eve party in Chicago, a 5,000 square foot casino will feature Las Vegas-style gaming such as blackjack, poker, craps, and roulette. Party-goers will have a chance to get lucky and win cash, while the proceeds will be put toward helping to give richer, more independent lives for people with disabilities. The event includes a 4 hour premium open bar, hors d'oeuvres & buffet, midnight champagne toast, and video countdown & confetti explosion along with special performances by DJ Homicide, of the 11 million record selling group Sugar Ray, and dance music legends C+C Music Factory featuring Freedom Williams. C+C Music Factory scored several dance/club play hits, including the Billboard No. 1 Hot 100 Singles & R&B smash "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)." DJ Homicide was instrumental in Sugar Ray's own top single, "Fly," and has appeared in several Hollywood movies, in addition to DJing at clubs across the country.

Paul Sorkin, CEO of IMAGE Worldwide, said, "New Year's Eve is always a great time to create extra revenues to close out the year strong but this year we are especially excited to be a part of the largest New Year's Eve event in Chicago and be able to help an important charity."
